Pedro Pascal Talks Childhood Crushes, Harrison Ford
Good news if you've ever wondered whether or not you're Pedro Pascal's type, because the actor just revealed his childhood crushes. The 50-year-old has generally kept his romantic life out of the public eye, previously telling Vanity Fair, 'I'm very unprivate in my private life. I just know that personal relationships are such a complex thing to navigate even without having this enormous lens on them." In an interview with the publication Fotogramas to promote the movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Pedro said of his initial crushes, "Oh gosh, it started early. It started with Olivia Newton-John." Continuing the catsuit theme, he said, "Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman." Then, "Indiana Jones, all the way to The Last Crusade. All the way to now. Sort of like a double Harrison Ford, isn't it? Han Solo." When his costar, Vannessa Kirby, said Marlon Brando, Pedro affirmed, "Marlon Brando appears on screen in A Streetcar Named Desire and you can't stay seated." As for Vanessa's crushes, she said Jack from Titanic, Baby Spice, and "my ski instructor." Pedro actually wore an Indiana Jones Easter Egg to the Fantastic Four premiere, specifically referencing The Temple of Doom, leading some to suggest that perhaps Pedro might be the next incarnation of Indy. Well, a good day to be Harrison Ford!

Hidden 2,000 year old tomb found under Petra leaving archaeologists stunned
Petra is known as a stunning city which attracts tourists from all over the globe but there is now more than meets the eye of the famous attraction after a tomb was recently located underneath its treasury building Archaeologists were stunned to discover a 2,000-year-old tomb under one of the seven wonders of the world. Carved into the pink sandstone cliffs of Petra in Jordan, lies an elaborate monument known as the Khaznah, or the Treasury — and a dozen skeletons were found under the structure. The city is probably best recognised by many for being featured in the 1989 film, ' Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade', starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. A site of historical and cultural significance, the city of Petra is a tourism hotspot and attracts close to one million visitors annually. Last year, CNN reported Dr Pearce Paul Creasman, executive director of the American Center of Research, along with a team of archaeologists, uncovered 12 human skeletons under the Khaznah. The dig also revealed a collection of artefacts beneath Petra's treasury and the human remains are believed to belong to people who lived two millennia ago. After discovering the unbelievable tomb, Creasman invited Josh Gates, host of Discovery Channels, 'Expedition Unknown' to the site. Gates said: "This is a hugely rare discovery — in the two centuries that Petra has been investigated by archaeologists, nothing like this has been found before. Even in front of one of the most famous buildings in the world, there are still huge discoveries to be made.' Creasman's team employed cutting edge ground penetrating technology to confirm the location of the additional tombs in the site. The data gathered by his team matched other information gathered from regions where tombs have been previously found. After being presented with the information, the Jordanian government approved the excavation underneath the Petra city. The artefacts found were extremely well-preserved, according to Creasman but the human remains, while intact, were in more delicate shape than expected. This has been attributed to the humidity of Petra and seasonal flooding. There is also porous sandstone within the tomb that entrapped moisture and saw some of the skeletons discovered with mould. The find is significant as only a handful of tombs have been uncovered in Petra in the past several decades with untouched burials. Other graves were disturbed and this was attributed mainly due to travellers looking for shade and protection in the desert. Two tombs were uncovered beneath the left side of the treasury around two decades ago by Jordan Department of Antiquities archaeologists. The tombs contained partial skeletal remains said Creasman but due to the data not being published, it was unclear how many bodies were located there. Creasman added: 'We were hopeful to find anything that might tell us more about the ancient people and place — human remains can be a really valuable tool in that regard. The burials in this tomb are articulated, so the bones haven't been rummaged around and moved, so that's exceedingly rare."

Harrison Ford gives emotional speech on last day of 'Shrinking' season 3 filming: 'Just f---ing amazing'
Harrison Ford isn't quick to display the ooey-gooey side of his emotional range. So when he does, he really means it. Ford was captured delivering a stirring speech in a state of visible emotion on the day his Apple TV+ series, Shrinking, wrapped its third season. "You guys are the best. The very, very best - at what you do, and how you do it, and how you make people feel is just f---ing amazing," he said in a video shared on Tuesday to the streamer's official Instagram page. The American Graffiti actor, 83, looked around at the assembled cast and crew of the comedy drama during an exterior shot, and continued, "I love this place. I love working with you guys, I hope we can all get back here and do it again." Ford's co-star and one of the series' co-creators, Jason Segel, rapidly snapped Ford back to his usual, comically cantankerous self by remarking, "Yeah buddy." Ford quickly snapped back, "I wasn't talking to you," causing the whole crew to burst into laughter as he walked off his mark. Shrinking has been a major hit for everyone involved: Segel, who co-created the show alongside Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein three years after his previous attempt at helming a series, Dispatching From Elsewhere, stalled after just one season; Ford, who earned the first Emmy nomination of his career for his work on the second season; Lawrence, who's riding high after having created two hit series for Apple TV+, with Ted Lasso; and that streamer, which has been producing a high volume of quality television since its 2017 inception, but has failed to break most series through to the level of audience fervor Shrinking has series follows Segel's Jimmy Laird, a therapist who begins shocking his patients by telling them exactly what he thinks, who in turn shock him by actually implementing (or at least, attempting to implement) meaningful changes into their lives. Ford was at the center of one of the second season's most gripping storylines, as his Dr. Paul Rhoades waged a tragic battle against Parkinson's while falling for his own doctor, Julie (Wendie Malick). Ford will vie against the formidable competition of Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear), his own Shrinking costar, Michael Urie, and more for the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series trophy when the Emmys air September. As for season 3 of Shrinking, while no premiere date has been announced, stars Segel and Jessica Williams did tease what fans can expect to see. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in June, Segel revealed, "Each season we have a word that is our true north for the theme of the season. Season 1 was 'grief,' season 2 was 'forgiveness,' and season 3 — I acknowledge that this is two words — is 'moving forward.'" Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Adventures in Streaming: When the president becomes an action figure
In 1997, Harrison Ford uttered that line to Russian terrorist Gary Oldman in the Wolfgang Peterson movie Air Force One (streaming on Paramount+). It didn't seem a culturally pivotal moment at the time, but it apparently opened some sort of pipeline wherein U.S. presidents would become action heroes in films as diverse as Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and Olympus Has Fallen. Article content Article content Prime Video is currently streaming two different variations of the formula (which, let's face it, was created in a Hollywood lab utilizing Die Hard as the agar in the petri dish). Article content Heads of State stars John Cena as Will Derringer, a newly elected American president, leaping into the White House after a career as a movie action hero. (One can only feel nostalgia toward the 2006 satire Idiocracy which portrayed that notion as ridiculously far-fetched.) Article content His feel-good presidency goes wrong when a vengeful Russian terrorist (Paddy Considine), launches an assault on an Air Force One mission to Europe for a NATO conference, with the British Prime Minister Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), caught up in the crossfire. Clarke is ex-military and, once the two leaders parachute to safety, he is given to mocking Derringer's pretend fighting experience. If their spark-striking conflict seems familiar, Cena and Elba shared an even more deadly enmity in The Suicide Squad. Article content The film is helmed by Ilya Naishuller, the Russian director who made Hardcore Henry and the Bob Odenkirk actionfest Nobody. Naishuller is skilled at live-action cartoons, but when the stakes are raised, that makes for some tonal needle scratches as we go from mass murder on Air Force One to Cena being smacked in the face with sheep udders as he and Elba are smuggled out of Belarus on a livestock truck. Waiting in the wings to confuse things even further is Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in John Wick mode, playing Noelle, Sam's love interest and saviour. Article content With its relentless action beats, and it's road-movie squabbling, it's mostly silly, disposable stuff. But you have to admit, it's certainly an interesting time for a Russian filmmaker to make an American action movie with a Russian villain in cahoots with a would-be American demagogue plotting to destroy the NATO alliance. Article content G20 stars another Suicide Squad vet Viola Davis as American president Danielle Sutton, obliged to kick butt when the titular conference, taking place in South Africa, is hijacked by security forces led by a crazed Australian mercenary played by Anthony Starr, who has honed his villain act on the superhero series The Boys. At least G20 has a consistent tone, attuned to Viola Davis's gravitas. Sure, many people are killed. But at least Danielle and her estranged teenage daughter (Marsai Martin), will get closer in the process.

Shrinking Season 3 Release Date Could Be Sooner Than Expected After This Update
The release date of Shrinking Season 3 could arrive sooner than fans expect, given the recent update shared by Apple TV. The first season of the series premiered on Apple TV+ on January 27, 2023, and consisted of 10 episodes, concluding on March 24, 2023. The sophomore season, comprising 12 episodes, streamed between October 16, 2024, and December 24, 2024. Its third season was renewed in October 2024. Apple TV officially announces Shrinking Season 3 filming wrap after Michael Urie's update Apple TV officially revealed that Shrinking Season 3 has wrapped production through a video featuring stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford. Seemingly addressing the cast and crew of the series, Ford says in the video, 'You guys are the best. The very, very best at what you do, and how you do it. And how you make people feel is just f——- amazing. I love this place. I love working with you guys. I hope we can all get back here and do it again.' This prompts Segel to say, 'Yeah, buddy.' However, Ford jokingly responded, 'I wasn't talking to you.' He then took his jacket from Segel and walked off. This came a few days after Segel and Ford's fellow cast member Michael Urie announced Shrinking Season 3 filming had wrapped through his Instagram handle. He shared a photo with another castmate, Devin Kawaoka. In the caption, Urie teased that he could not 'wait for you to see what's in store for Brian (Urie), Charlie (Kawaoka), and the whole gang.' Notably, production for Season 3 began in February this year. Given the release pattern of previous seasons and what Urie posted, we can assume that Shrinking Season 3 could arrive in the last quarter of 2025. Returning cast members for Season 3 include Segel as Jimmy, Ford as Dr. Paul, Urie, Kawaoka, and Jessica Williams. Some of the new additions for the third season are Jeff Daniels, Michael J. Fox, and Sherry Cola. The post Shrinking Season 3 Release Date Could Be Sooner Than Expected After This Update appeared first on - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.
